Here's a State of Things.

There were dark and ugly rumors
afoat yesterday involving the good
name of a married lady and the name
of an individual who figured in scan
dslous case some years ago. The man
is married, but has not lived with his
wife for some few months. Although
the full particulars of the affair are in
our possession, we refrain from pub.
fishing them this morning for reasons
that may hereafter be given. 1t is suf-
ticent to say this morning that
the pair are not in the city
at present, having left for the
east. 1t is understood that the United
States Marshals' office hes taken an in.
terest IN the matter, notwi,hstan ding
the fact that all the attaches are as
mum as the traditional oyster. Fur
ther developments, and of q startling
nature, may be anticipated.

To the Editor Of THE HERALD:
The squirt-gun of the Ogden Herald
has another of his misrepresentation
in its issue Of the 14th, entitled can At
tached Juror" He says Sidney Stevens
stated to the court that his failure to
appear was due to forgetfulness. There
was no such expression made. Sidney
Stevens stated that he had mistaken the
date, when His Honor Judge Foreman
respectfully said, "You will be exempt
on payment of attachment"
Then this pop-gun goes on to say
it was rumored around town that the
officer wanted me to ride with him, and
insisted that the prisoner should ride
with him; the prisoner refused point

drove to town, the officer bringing up
| the rear, ETC., with some other rot
which the public cares nothing about,
| even if it were so. Everybody who took
time to read this fellows effort said the
rumor was not known outside of the
Uranium OF the originator, who poses as
editor of the sheet. De-.
The facts are, if auTons is Interested:
The officer read the attachment just as
l was leaving the door, for ogden, and
said could ride with him. | pointed
to my buggy, just brought out, stating
that l was just off for Ogden, and
would be there before the names for
Jurors were called. There was no cool
Ing down or cooling up, nor did the
officer travel in the rear, nor did he
deliver me over to the court, as | was
in the Court House before the officer
ready for jury service if necessary, and
to pay TIE cost of the attachment as we'll.
Marshal EXum resps ctfully re
marked, Mr.. Stevens. you are the
last Ran | ever expected 10 have ar
rested mistook the date, suppose"
Thus, this ignoramus gets of his mis-
represen cations. and il a correction is
made, refuses to publish it, thinking he
has the whole field; but as | heard a
gentleman remark today, Il am going
to quit that paper, its talent is 100 low
down."
The trouble with this ignOrsmus is,
he sent in bill to the Chamber of Com
merce for SIC for committee work
on his own committee, and
urged payment at once, but
when an explanation was wanted ne
thought the writer, as chairman of the
finance committee, should o. K. it with
out asking any questions, as it made
no difference to him; but it was refused
on the ground that no other member of
any committee had ever presented a
bill for services.
Seeing that the SALT LAKE HERALD
has large circulation in this county,
where the above sheet is printed, and
as the later refuses to correct its
blulderS. 1 herewith send the correction
to you for publication, notwithstsnd
ing, admit, the fellow is hardly worth
the notice.
Respectfully,

that when a patient has recovered the

said that children have gone to both day
and Sunday schools from houses con-
aiming diphtheritic and fever patients
These exposures of the public are 10th
ing less than criminal, and the guilty
should be severely punished. 1t isun-
doubtedly true that the diseases
have been spread by carelessness aud
downright criminality. The contagion
will extend unless there shall be more
determined effort to stamp it out, and
greater pains are taken to establish
and maintain better quarantine regula-
tons. The quarantine physician will
be power!ess in the matter unless the
public shall go to his assistance by re-
porting cases of contagious disease
and aiding him in the prevention of VIC
lations of quarantine regulations. 1t is
something in which we are all interest

the diseases which are gaining an
alarming foothold in the city.

STATEHOOD SAFELY GRANTED

The Mormons are either sincere in
their anti-polygamy provisions in the
new Constitution, and will honestly en-.
deavor to enforce them;
Or, they are not sincere, and those
provisions will be practically inopera-
tive. In which case Congress and the
nation are not without recourse. The
Federal Constitution may be amended
and polygamy and unlawful cohabi-
tation made crimes punishable as Con-
gress may prescribe. The amendments
concerning slavery are precedents. The
suppression of polygamy will then be
taken away from the Mormons, and
relegated to the United States courts
and officials.
This should completely satisfy those
people who are rational enough to see
that severe penalties, rigidly enforced,
are sufficient to discourage any
crime. 1t will not be satisfactory to q
class of local fanatics who are the poiiti.
cal opponents Of Mormonism, and de-
sire that the Mormons may lose their
Offices ii the hope that they may sue
coed to them.

thoTitatiVe decision that liquor drinking

1t TO be diYisible one, separable into
any number of counts at the sweet
pleasure of grand jury of prohibition
"cranks;" and permit a shifting"
Marshal to exhaust the regular panel of
jurors at once in order that the open

packed juries of teetotalers be brought

afterwards Congress saw fit to take
away from the people the right
of electing their probate judges and
made them appointive by the President,
with the result, under existing laws. OF
throwing the selection of all of the
jurors by the regular panel into the
hands of the prohibition minority. And

these oppressive laws, that the few kept
ding donging at the doors of Congress

Now The National Legislature has
seen fit to do all this in the case OF
Utah, and we venture the opinion that

polygamy, ten can be made against the
liquor traffic; and moreover that while
